Loose Women often presents viewers with stories that tug at your heartstrings and leave us wanting to shed a tear.

And, following Coleen Nolan’s revelation on Monday afternoon’s instalment of the show, even the most stony-hearted viewer would find it hard not to feel pangs of sympathy for the star and her late sister Bernie.

Discussing pregnancies in the news segment of the show, the 53-year-old singer and TV presenter revealed her third and final pregnancy was a bittersweet time as it involved heartbreak for both the sisters.

She added: ‘Bernie said, “I’m delighted for you, I wanted my own… I don’t resent you having one.” But, I felt awkward – almost guilty.’

At the time the Loose Women star was expecting her third child – her first with Ray Fensome – Ciara, now 17.

Bernie, who passed away tragically in 2013 after a battle with cancer, miscarried in 2000 just months before Coleen gave birth in 2001.

The late star, who passed away aged 52 in 2013, had one daughter with her husband Steve Doneathy, Erin.
